Zusatztext LE Tacoma offers the reader a penetrating reflection on migration in Rome, based on a solid historiographic foundation and a careful and careful examination of books or articles, although devoted to more recent periods and very often written in the language but which allow us to glimpse the richness of the subject. In addition, the coherent and rigorous methodology for studying this problem within the framework of Vrbs during the Principat, thanks to a thorough knowledge of the ancient sources, but also of the contributions of the isotopic analyzes, also contributes to making the work henceforth impossible to circumvent for any future publication on this subject. For all these reasons, one can recommend reading, profitable and stimulating, to all those who wish to take interest in this topic for other regions of the Roman world. Informationen zum Autor Laurens Ernst (Rens) Tacoma was born in 1967. He studied History at the University of Leiden, where he graduated in 1994 in Ancient History. He defended his PhD-thesis on the urban elites of Roman Egypt in 2003. He is currently lecturer in Ancient History at Leiden University, working and teaching in the field of Roman social history. From 2010 to 2014 he worked in a project entitled Moving Romans. Migration, Labour and Urbanisation in Roman Italy, for which he stayed in the year 2013/4 as a Fellow at the Royal Dutch Institute in Rome.
